How to slow down an AS

["Raul A. Jager W." <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I wanted to test a program (read only) so I created a DDM File in the 
development machine, but :-(

Instead of: CRTDDMF FILE(LIB/FILE)  RMTFILE (LIB/FILE) 
LOCATION((PRODUCTION))
I wrote: CRTDDMF FILE(LIB/FILE)  RMTFILE (LIB/FILE) LOCATION((DEVELOPMENT))

in the development computer, so the ddmf pointed to itself.  Try to read 
and it created a lot of QRWTSRVR.

It will be a good idea if the AS will detect circular references, or 
even require that a DDM File points to a "real" file (physical or 
logical).  This may seem to drastical, but I belive that chaining DDMs 
will degrade performance and makes it harder to trace the real location 
af the file being used.
